RATE WAR LIKELY,
The Santa Fe Railroad Ready to Meet
All Cuts.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 17-From all indica-
tions railroad war on rates is about to be
instituted, as the Santa Fe folks will meet
the cut in rates instituted by the Burling-
ton and Missouri. General Agent Flynn
said: 'The rates we proposed putting into
effect between the Missouri river and Den
yer are less than those published by the
Burlington, but having no desire to de-
moralize things in Colorado, we are not
disposed to submit the matter to our COM
petitors. In any event our rates will not
be higher than those of any other company,
but, on the contrary, if it can be effected
without Generalization our rates will be
lower. Our people are present at the rate
meeting being held in St. Louis now and
the matter will probably be arranged there
A Union Pacific official being asked
"What are your people going to do about
this rate cut advanced by the Burlington?''
said: We'll, l haven't heard "A word yet
and don't know as anything will be done
at all. We have so much to attend TO just
now that we hardly know which way to
turn. The fact is we are overrun with bus
mess There is one thing, however, that
you can say, and that is that our folds can
run freight into Colorado just as cheaply
as any other road and when It comes TO
friendship we have as friendly feeling for
Colorado as any road entering her con-
fines"
"Do you think there is liable to be a rate
war;"
NO there is no need of it. The railroads
don't want it and the merchants don t
want it. Most of them have their winters
stock of goods already ordered over some
route, so there would be no actual benefit
to be gained at this time.

THE WORLDS. BEST ROADS.
Magnificent Highways Found in British
Iudis-f Marvellous Road.

1t might seem good deal like presump-
ton on my part TO assert that | am in a po-
sition to pronounce upon the comparative
merits of the worlds roadways better than
any man living; but no reader VINO has ever
ridden bicycle would doubt the assertion.
Having made trail around the land portion
of the earth'5 surface with bicycle can
! now take an ordinary map Of the world and
trace out from beginning to end of that great
circle, where the road is good, where it is
bad or Indifferent, and whore it is execrabie.
The best roads in the world, many readers
will be surprised to hear, are in British India.
After riding the bicycle / 400 miles through
the Punjab Dude and Bengal, | am fairly at
a loss to find words TO express sufficiently my
admiration of the enterprise that has bolted
India with such magnificent highways as
found there. The finest road in India is
known as the Grand Trunk road. it extends
for 600 miles, an unbrokeD highway d mar

Afghan frontier, to Calcutta. Il Is metaied

BoSToN. Nov. IA notable wedding
was solemniyed this afternoon at New bury
port, Mass, when Miss Elizabeth Lesper-
ard johnson and Walter Bell Phister, of
Kansas City, were united in marriage by
Rev. j. II. Slanburn, rector of st. paul's
church, Newburyport. The bride is the
Youngest daughter of William c. and
Mary johnson, and great granddaughter
of John Adams, second president of the

KY, and is the head of the banking firm of

Mr.. Randall Also Denies the Charge
That he Interested Himself
In ThOebe'S Favor.
A Strong Effort Being Made in New York
City to Form an Anti-Anar-
chist Society.
The Rumor That Perry Belmont Had Ac
cepted the Assistant Secretaryship
Of State Denied
NO TRUTH IN 1T.
Carlisle and Randall Both Contradic
the Tales.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 17.-Speaker
Carlisle today said that there was not the
slightest truth in the published statement
that he had denounced Mr.. Randall for
having interested himself on behalf of Mr..
Thoebe in the latters contest for Mr..
Carlisle's seat. He had never supposed for
an instant that Mr. Radall had interested
himself in the Thoebe contest as had been
stated far and wide in public prints. He
further said he had just received letter
from Mr.. Randall enclosing various news
paper slips representing that he (Mr.
CARLISLE had spoken in disparaging terms
Of him. Mr.. Randall stated in this letter
that the charges that he had interested
himself in Mr. Thoebe's favor were false
and moreover he did not believe that Mr..
Carlisle had used the language imputed to
him. Mr.. Carlisle replied today, convey
ing to Mr. Randall his total disbelief in
these charges and denying absolutely that
he had ever criticised him as alleged.
An intimate friend of Mr. Randall stated
that efforts had been made by various per
sons to utilize the Thoebe contest as a
breeder of trouble between Randall and
Carlisle, hoping thereby to prevent Randall
from being reappointed chairman of the
appropriations committee. This specula-
ton, however had failed. Mr.. Randall
took no interest in Thoebe's case, and had
in no wise antagonized Mr. Carlisle, either
respecting his reelection to the speakership
or the contest for his seat. On the contrary,
Mr.. Randall has publicly declared that Mr..
Carlisle would be renominated in the eau
Gus by reclamation, and Mr.. Carlisle was
fully advised as to Mr.. Randalrs position.
The statement made today by Mr.. Car
Isle sets at rcSt all prediction or statement
+l,% Ill II, 70
defeat his reelection to the speakership. 1t
also settles in the negative the oft repeated
charges that the two gentlemen are not on
friendly terms.

OUITE MYSTERIOUS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 17-About a week
ago Nicholas Brandt, prominent business
man Of Shelbina, Shelby county. mysteri-
ously disappeared, and foul play was sus-
pected. Some days ago letter was re
ceived at Shelbina by Mr.. f. c. Nitsch. a
merchant, purporting TO be from Brandt.
enclosing note for $50 and asking Nitsch
to cash it and send the money to him at
800 South Third street. in this city. The
letter and note were pronounced forgeries,
and Nitsch wrote 10 Theodore Fehlig. a
box manufacturer here, TO call at the num-
Der given and ascertain if Brandt was
there. Fehlig called today and Young
German presented himself as Brandt. The
box maker caused him to be arrested, when
he gave his real name as Henry Dieterich.
and told so many conflicting stories that
he was locked up. He is green German,
speaks no English, and is from Shelbina
The chief of police tonight received
dispatch from Shelbina stating that
Brandts body had been found in well,
and asking that Deiterich be held until to-
morrow morning.

PICTURE OF LOUISE MICHEL.

Waiting for Her Turn to Speak-Ker Fa.
vorite Sentences-No Interruption.
Instead of a type of warlike ferocity,
Louise Michel is a type Of sorrow, poverty
and misery. A plain gown Of shabby black,
a limp and narrow Grape veil hanging from
much worn bonnet; a face grown old by suf
fering rather than age; faded and sunken
eyes, one OF them bearing marks strongly
suggestive of a brawl, are the accessories that
give the woman the appearance of an OPP
pressed and overburdened widow rather than
Of bold and aggressive petroleuse.
AS she sits on the platform, waiting for her
turn to speak, her hands lie idly in her lap or
play absent mindediy with her chin. The
workings, from time to time, of her lips and
jaws make one imagine that Louise, my
saint" wears false teeth. When it is her
turn to speak she arises quietly and with
certain appearance of dignity. She rests one
hand on the table and occasionally gesticu-
lates with the other. That her form is
slightly bent Is probably caused by her po-
sition, her figure being too tall to allow Der
hand to support her without stopping. She
is thin and why. Her hair is black, smooth
and carefully parted in the middle. Her
voice is low and moderate, seldom rising to
tone consistent with the wildness of her words;
her language Is good and her construction
grammatical.
Her speeches are all pretty much the same.
She has certain set phrases with which she
interlards her remarks, and which the people
love to hear and to applaud. Her favorite
sentences are: "Long live anarchy "Down
with the bourgeoisiem IF war is declared
we will march against and destroy the palaces
in the st. German quarter" "The priests
promise you heaven If you are good and
threaten you with hell if you are bad.
There is nothing of the kind; heaven Is here
on earth, and you must take it for your
selves: hell is also here and most Of Us have
our full share of it." ut is not man We
wish to destroy, but the mold in which he Is
made, that mold being the existing form OF
society," All OF these sentiments Louise,
my saint rattles of at one time or another,
and her speeches generally command com
plete attention II any one Is indlscreet
enough to attempt whispered conversation
with neighbor while she is speaking he Is st
once reminded by Kisses and cries Of silence
that he is creating disturbance and finds Is
better for his peace Of mind TO cut his re-
marks short.-Paris Cor. Buffalo Courier.
